not at all. It's just going to give you a nice ride and handling. I have HP's and steeda sports on the 95, great match up. Doesn't effect launches either, and they transfer well enough. Great all around shocks and springs for me.

your tokico's will do alright as long as you don't run super aggressive spring rates. You can run a PHB and TA with good control arms and benefit from there abilities in every form of your driving also.

So like maximum motorsport control arms? Should I do both front and rear control arms?

You can't do both effectively. Either it will handle well and run at the track crappy, or run at the track and not handle. Ask me why my 500 hp car only ran high 11's, lol

no he's referring to the balance between drag racing and open track racing. It's hard to find, i think griggs is the only ones who have actually gotten close.

The griggs setup is and awesome setup. I love it, but the kits arent cheap. Are subframe connectors helpful for verts? Like keeping them from flexing?

yes. Full length subframes, control arms for the lower rear and a goodset of springs.

Maximum Motorsports makes a great set of full length connectors. That would be my recommendation.

Yep, they're great too.

It's tough to find a product of theirs that isn't top notch. I've had outstanding customer service experiences with them as well.

yep. Griggs, J&M, MM are all great stuff. Steeda is as well as eibach,H&R. I wouldn't waste my time on anything UPR or off brand with suspension. It really is you get what you pay for with parts

THe best mod is tightening the loose nut behind the wheel. get some seat time, figure out the weak links in your car, and bolster them. You may find that all you need is a little more power, a little less weight, and a good tune. This is always a great place to start, as you will be able to figure out where the car is now, do a baseline run, and upgrade from there.

Couldn't agree more. Get to know your car and then go from there. As time goes on you'll replace everything however it's always good to find out whats the worst at the time.
